DJI MAVIC Pro Review and Specification. Unmanned aerial vehicles or popularly known as Drone is widely trending these days for various reasons. Among them, photography or videography is one of the main reasons behind owning a drone. Though if you don't need a drone for photography or videography purposes, you can own one to see the world from a bird's eyes, just from the lap of the skies. Though the price is a bit higher you seriously can't deny the usefulness and the fun with drones.
In this connection, I want to tell you that there are several kinds of drones available in the market. They come with different specifications, different price ranges, etc. Among them, DJI drones are considered bests. Today here, in this article I am going to discuss the details about the drone "DJI Mavic Pro". If you are willing to buy this, I would request you to go through the full specifications and the pros and cons we are gonna discuss in this article. So, let's get started DJI MAVIC Pro specification and get a list here.
DJI MAVIC Pro Review and Specification
DJI's best selling drone ever. It is small, light, foldable, very capable, and, at least in our experience, very reliable. It wasn't the world's first foldable drone, but it was the first one that got (almost) everything right. DJI has sold thousands of them around the world and in the eyes of many, it has become the gold standard for foldable drones. The two-year-old Mavic Pro still holds its own against its much newer little brother the DJI Mavic Air and DJI MAVIC Pro Pros and Cons.
Design and Build Quality:
Measuring 3.27 x 7.8 x 3.27 inches (83 x 198 x 83mm; W x D x H) when folded up, the Mavic Pro looks downright adorable and has nearly the same size as a water bottle. DJI has also come up with a new ultralight and aerodynamic airframe that weighs only 743g. Compared to DJI's past drones, it's teeny at half the size and weight of the company's flagship Phantom 4.
The Mavic Pro is the first DJI drone small enough to be thrown into a backpack or purse rather than a special hard pack specifically designed for it. This is all thanks to a new folding design in which the two front arms swing back while the rear limbs flip down and towards the quadcopter's main body. Despite rotors being attached to articulating elements, the Mavic Pro feels solid. It takes a fair bit of force to position everything, but not enough to stop you from getting it set up in a minute.
DJI MAVIC Pro Review and Specification and features :
The Mavic Pro is a very capable drone. It features a 3-axis gimbal with a 12MP, 4K camera with a 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor. With its (at the time) new OcuSync transmission system you can fly the Mavic Pro up to 4.3 miles or 7 km away and still have a 1080p/720p live video stream (when you use the 1080p live feed you will not be able to record in 4K). You can also fly the Mavic Pro straight from your Smartphone without the use of a controller, but your speed and distance (262 feet) will be very limited.
This functionality is only useful really for drones etc. The camera can shoot 12MP stills and record video in 4K resolution at 30 fps or 1080p at up to 96fps. The camera can also be rotated 90 degrees to portrait mode which is really useful for shooting panoramas where you want to stitch the photos in post-production later.
To focus your images, don't forget to tap on the screen of your smartphone. The Mavic Pro has both GPS and GLONASS as well as downward and forward obstacle avoidance to help you fly your drone. DJI calls this Flight Autonomy.
The system works with the help of dual ultrasonic rangefinders at the bottom of the aircraft, five cameras, redundant sensors, and 24 powerful computing cores. Up to a speed of 22 mph, the Mavic Pro is able to sense obstacles in front of it up to 49 feet away. The drone's top speed is 24 mph but can be flown much faster in sports mode. Then it can reach speeds of up to 40 mph.
DJI MAVIC Pro Camera Video and Stills:
The 28mm lens DJI has chosen for the DJI Mavic Pro finds a good balance between getting plenty in the frame without being too wide so that everything is distorted a bit too much – it's actually a similar field of view to most smartphones, while the level of control to adjust exposure goes way beyond a simple point-and-shoot compact.
As well as being able to set white balance and ISO sensitivity (100-1,600) inflight, you can set the focus by tapping the screen and select whether you want to shoot JPEGs or raw files, or both, while shutter speed and aperture are relayed on the screen so you can gauge if you need to boost the ISO or not.
DJI MAVIC Pro Battery
The drone has a maximum flight time of up to 27 minutes but a little less in real-life situations. Despite its compact form factor, the Mavic Pro boasts impressive battery life and actually has one of the longest flight times we've ever seen in a quadcopter. It's a bit of an oddity though — the rotor system is optimized for forwarding flight, so the drone can actually stay aloft longer in motion than hovering.
DJI claims it can maintain a hover for 24 minutes, but thanks to its aerodynamic design, it can allegedly stay airborne for 27 minutes if you "fly at the optimum speed for energy consumption.
The DJI Mavic Pro comes with DJI's new OcuSync video transmission technology, which stretches the drone's maximum range and provides a 1080p/720p live video stream (when you use the 1080p live feed you will not be able to record in 4K a live HD video feed from the camera from up to 4.3 miles or 7 km away. That, however, is only possible in the most optimal conditions in our DJI MAVIC Pro Review and Specification test.
You can buy this drone from Amazon.in at $999 today with various accessories.

View Full Version : 4 possible New Games on Dreamcast
I'm Orion_ and I'm a game programmer and fan of retro gaming.
I develop on a lot of retro console, and I made some games for Atari Jaguar, Falcon, Playstation 1, and also on Android and PC. (http://onorisoft.free.fr/retroshop/index.html)
I recently started to develop for the Dreamcast, and I want to know if people would be interested by some of my games that I could port on the Dreamcast.
I currently have 4 games I could port:
http://onorisoft.free.fr/elansar/capt1.jpg http://onorisoft.free.fr/elansar/philia/philia_scr1_s.jpg
"Elansar" and its sequel "Philia", These are two adventure games, based on 3D rendering computer graphics like "Myst" and gameplay based on "Point & Click" style.
The principle of the game is to explore the island and solve puzzles.
The games are available in English and French as well as German and Spanish for Elansar.
See the project page here: http://onorisoft.free.fr/elansar/elansar.htm
Video of Elansar: https://vimeo.com/69876283
Video of Philia the sequel to Elansar: https://vimeo.com/81008620

"Alice's Mom's Rescue," This is a platform game inspired by the world of Alice in Wonderland,
The giant raven has captured Alice's mother. Help Alice to save her mother through the three worlds and 25 levels!
Change Alice's height using the magic mushrooms to get through the tiny spaces.
Beware of the evil cats, birds, bats and spikes!
There are also small puzzles, and the difficulty is relatively high in the last levels.
This game is already almost running on my Dreamcast :)
Video Alice's Mom's Rescue: https://vimeo.com/110898720
and the Beta running on real Dreamcast: https://vimeo.com/112846512
http://onorisoft.free.fr/retroshop/yopaz_psx_3.png
"Yopaz IceStar" This is a puzzle game featuring 40 levels in 3 worlds.
You play as a little character named Yopaz and you must collect all the stars in the universe, but the vacuum of space forces you to slide indefinitely when you run in one direction.
Only an ice wall will stop you in your tracks! With this unusual constraint, you will need to collect all stars on each level.
The world "Advanced" provides additional features for seasoned players.
You will be able to change your color and collect stars of the corresponding color! Your color will also allow you to go through teleporters, direction changers, or even protect you from enemies!
A level editor is also available with endless creative possibilities!
Video of Yopaz IceStar: https://vimeo.com/73975208
As I have no clear idea of the number of people potentially interested in my creations on Dreamcast, I post in the different Dreamcast forums to announce my games.
If you are interested, please email me at: onorisoft@free.fr
Tell me the games that you are interested in, so I could get an idea of the most anticipated games, and I will send you an email when they will be available for sale.
This will be in form of a pressed CD with jacket and small manual.
The price should be between 20~25€ depending on the demand.
Thank you for reading :)

I'd like to see Alice's Mom's Rescue on the Dreamcast. I really don't like the controls of the Android version.
j_factor
Of the four, Alice's Mom's Rescue looks the most interesting. I can never get enough 2D platformers.
Murphy245
Elansar looks great i like the old school myst style games.
Yharnamresident
Though I hope you plan to do anamorphic 16:9 support for them. Overall I'm impressed.
Really cool stuff you've done. Based on nothing but the screenshots I vote for Alice's Mom.
SEGA.GENESIS1989
I enjoyed playing Myst back in the day and if the gameplay is as rich and engrossing, I would be very interested in playing "Elansar" and its sequel "Philia". But among the games that you are willing to release on the Dreamcast, I am most interested in "Alice's Mom's Rescue". It looks like a game that I would undoubtedly enjoy playing!
These all look fantastic!
Would be happy with any or all of these
Bottino
Alice Mom's Rescue reminds me of the Wonder Boy series, which is obviously a great thing and as a Myst fan, Elansar and Philia certainly looks interesting.

Arizona's Saguaro National Park with a dog: Workable and gorgeous
Left to my own devices, I would have skipped Tucson's Saguaro National Park. "Saguaros," I would have said to myself, "I've seen 'em" — and I have, on the drive from Phoenix to Sedona, and lovely they are. Also, I would have added, with Chloe along a national park will be largely off limits. How wrong I would have been! And how lucky I am, in so many ways, that illustrator Chandler O'Leary was guiding the Good Ship Dodge-Chrysler Minivan across the country, and that she is a devoted fan of national parks.
The fact is, there is plenty for a dog of any size to do at the Saguaro National Park, despite the park service's restrictions, and the place (well, two places, since it's divided into two districts flanking Tucson) is unbelievably gorgeous. Sure, I'd seen saguaros. I just hadn't seen as many, nor had I seen them in a terrain that highlights their beauty to advantage — and whizzing by a landscape at highway speeds is a whole different experience than ambling past and through a saguaro forest. I'm a girl who really prefers an urban getaway, and I was dumbfounded.
This is the view from the visitor's center for the western district. I mean…the park hasn't even really STARTED yet, at this point, and it's already just…wow.
We started with the eastern Rincon Mountain District, since we arrived in Tucson from the east. The entrance fee (and it covered the other district, too) was $10, since we had the car (and you'd want one — it's a big place and even the nearest picnic area is over a mile from the main parking lot). We were advised by the park rangers (who greeted Chloe with joy and treats) that Chloe could walk on the pavement, at the picnic areas, in the pull-outs along the road, and along the Desert Ecology Trail (a paved, relatively short loop of a trail).
That might sound, at first glance, like limited access, but it's really all an average visitor like me needs, with or without a dog. The Ecology Trail sends you in among the saguaros, but you can also choose, as we did, to drive very slowly around the one-way circuit, pulling over from time to time to let faster sightseers go by. There are enough pull-outs that you can easily stop to take pictures, and take your dog for a walk down the road and back before continuing. The park's website makes even that easier, suggesting, for example: "On the paved scenic road, try the stretch from North Cactus Forest trailhead to Loma Verde trailhead. This route is less strenuous and has good sight distances for the safety of you and cyclist / motorists."
The entrance to the eastern district of the park on a moody March day (we visited the eastern district on moody Day 1, and the western district on sunny Day 2, just to give you complete coverage)
But gorgeous nevertheless, right? And this was a photo taken on my phone, from the driver's seat. Chandler was creating ART from her seat, with her camera.
The site has similar suggestions for the western Tucson Mountain District, which also has a small dog-friendly trail taking you in among the saguaros (this one is called the Desert Discovery Trail). There too, dogs are allowed on the pavement, in three of the four picnic areas, and in the pull-outs. Both districts are well worth visiting, and the drive between the two along Speedway (which turns into Gates Pass Road) is very beautiful.
Some important considerations: Bring water bottles, wear sunscreen, and consider a Chilly Buddy jacket for your dog. On a sunny day in early March I found myself attempting to tuck my entire body under my wide-brimmed hat, and it will only get hotter as the year progresses. Also consider booties for your dog: Even on the paved surfaces Chloe was restricted to, she picked up and suffered from various burrs/prickles. Which leads me directly to one of the park's rules: Dogs are to be leashed, and on short (no more than 6′) leads. That may sound unsporting, but you'll soon agree it's a good idea. The local wildlife includes rattlesnakes, scorpions, and, I kid you not, Gila monsters, and off the paved paths, the burrs/prickles proliferate. In fact, one of the rangers demonstrated that some of the flora is actively dangerous to dogs — in this picture, she's showing how segments of some of the cholla plants (in this case, Jumping Cholla or Chainfruit Cholla) break off when you brush against them and embed themselves in your leather boot, or your dog:
Please note that she is wearing a really serious pair of leather boots, and yet the cholla thorns dug deep — she had to scrape hard on the sidewalk to get the cholla segment off (she didn't happen to have a comb in her pocket).
The solution, she told me, is not to grab the segment with your hand but rather to comb it off your dog with a regular hair comb. So pack a comb, and keep your pup on a short leash. That cholla is everywhere. And, of course, bag your dog's poop and pack it out of the park. There are trash cans in the picnic areas and the main parking lot.
Chloe, looking noble at the western district visitor's center
And looking for squirrels at the Signal Hill picnic area
In total, we spent about four hours at the park, and could easily have stayed longer (we should, for example, have brought in lunch). Chloe was interested in and enthused with what she saw, and then ready to snooze through the rest.

The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation says Ada Police tried to served undisclosed felony warrants at a home. The suspect was outside and open fired on the officers. One officer was hit as officers returned fire. The officers shot the suspect and he was pronounced dead at the scene. The wounded police officer was treated and released from the hospital.
Newton County, Mo – A shortage of Rural veterinarians that specialize in care for large animals impacts small clinics in southwest Missouri. According to the USDA, there's a shortage all across the four-states. In Vernon County, the ration of vets to large animals is 206,000 to 1. According to the Association of American Veterinary Medical Colleges, it costs more than $200,000 to get an ADVM at the University of Missouri.
Parsons, Ks – Last year, Americans gave an estimated $427 billion to charity, but there was still a drop in charitable donations. When adjusted for inflation, total givings decline 1.7 percent. That decline is attributed to the impact of the tax law that went into effect last year, changing deductions.

HomeIs Hebrew a Language To Bind Us, or To Bore Us?
Is Hebrew a Language To Bind Us, or To Bore Us?
Madison MargolinAugust 16, 2015Image by iStock

It's common for young Jews to study Hebrew until the age of 13 — and then never interact with the language again. Hebrew school students learn the alphabet, but often have little understanding of what the prayers mean. Having a conversation in modern Hebrew is a long shot.
This phenomenon raises questions about the priorities of Hebrew instruction across the country. Should learning Hebrew more thoroughly — speaking some modern Hebrew and comprehending prayer — be part of a basic Jewish education?
Naomi Stillman calls it "the bar mitzvah syndrome." The associate director of NETA, a nationally distributed Hebrew curriculum, Stillman regrets that Hebrew education in the American diaspora has not been widely successful. And she isn't alone. Rabbi Dr. Shmuly Yanklowitz, executive director of Valley Beit Midrash in Phoenix, says that either Hebrew school feels like a second school about which students are unenthusiastic, or its fun-and-games approach detracts from substantial learning. Both produce dismal results.
Learning spoken Hebrew and understanding the meaning behind prayer have merits — beyond bar or bat mitzvah prep. "I think we need to demonstrate both the rootedness and the evolution of the language," said Yanklowitz, "both the sense that there's a deep power to accessing the words that generation after generation have found meaningful, and that this is a living, evolving language that a home state continues to use, and bring progress to the language."
Learning a language involves reading, writing, comprehension and speaking. Yanklowitz argues that learning Hebrew should also be integrated with Jewish values to make the language more meaningful or relevant. But with only a limited number of hours per week dedicated to the Hebrew language, Hebrew schools must choose the extent to which they prioritize each of these components.
The reality is that many students do not learn enough Hebrew to function in practical situations.
"I can only read Hebrew very slowly, and I definitely need vowels. Some words I recognize without vowels," said Gary Parizher, a medical student who attended Conservative Hebrew school full-time until high school. Parizher's school aimed to teach both prayer-book and modern Hebrew. His experience paralleled those of the subjects interviewed in this piece.
A 2013 Pew research survey of American Jews found that 52% of all Jews know the Hebrew alphabet, but only 13% understand what they can read. Over 80% of all Jews — including 79% of "Jews by religion" and 96% of "Jews of no religion" — are unable to have a conversation in Hebrew. Statistics tell us that American Hebrew education has prioritized reading the Hebrew alphabet.
Rabbi Bruce Raff, head of the Religious School at Wilshire Boulevard Temple, a Reform congregation in Los Angeles, said the goal is for students to be "prayer-book functional" so they can read, chant, and recognize keywords in prayers.
"We want our kids to be Jews, lifelong Jews — and part of being a Jew is being able to function in synagogue," Raff said.
For those like Parizher, learning Hebrew connected him to Judaism, but he says the connection has faded.
"I'm not really sure [Hebrew] would be all that useful to me. I speak Russian, and I find that to come in handy more frequently than Hebrew would," Parizher said, adding that even Russian isn't as useful as Spanish.
In many cases, students don't see the point of mastering Hebrew. Not only is America widely monolingual, Naomi Stillman pointed out, but learning Hebrew is also "low on the getting-into-college totem pole." Only 25% of Americans speak a language other than English. Spanish is the number one second language in schools, though recently the perceived necessity of learning Chinese has grown. Between 2005 and 2010, the number of those who took the Chinese Proficiency Test increased by over 26%. People see practical worth in learning Spanish and Chinese, but being Jewish doesn't necessitate learning Hebrew.
Without serious emphasis placed on the language, Hebrew education has suffered. The only qualification for a majority of Hebrew teachers is that they be native speakers.
"Sadly, that isn't enough. They know nothing about teaching a second language," Stillman said. Being Israeli isn't always enough to qualify someone to teach Hebrew.
Schools also tend to lack standard benchmarks for what a student should know by the end of a learning period, Stillman added. With a shift away from rigorous academic courses that include tests and homework, Stillman said, progress in Hebrew has slowed.
While Hebrew may not be every student's priority, many still find learning it important. Ben Belgrad, a glass artist, studied Hebrew in Hebrew school, summer camp and voluntarily in high school.
"Learning Hebrew connected me to Judaism because I was able to explore cultural elements of Israel such as music, food and dance with an understanding rooted in the language. I also understand the prayers when I pray, which provides more meaning for me than just repeating words I was trained to memorize," Belgrad said. With family and friends in Israel, Belgrad also found practical relevance in learning the language.
"Hebrew is important because, although Jewish people have had many vernaculars, it is the primary vernacular of our text. It remains the international language of the Jewish people," said Melanie Weiss, director of the Religious School at Kadima Beth El, a Conservative congregation in Portland, Maine. "I want our kids to feel like they have access. I don't want them learning things without understanding what they mean."
In her time at Kadima Beth El, Weiss has introduced more conversational Hebrew into the curriculum. While Hebrew school twice a week isn't enough for students to become fluent, Weiss said they read children's books in modern Hebrew, and have at least a basic vocabulary, in addition to bar/bat mitzvah prayer.
"The goals of our school are to create Jewishly literate, Jewishly connected young adults who simultaneously have a strong sense of their Jewish identity and Jewish knowledge," she said.
Whether Hebrew school should incorporate more modern Hebrew or prayer comprehension into the curriculum remains debatable. With obvious time constraints, schools are limited in what they can teach and must prioritize a curriculum adhering to their goals.
"I want [students] to enter the adult world and become adult learners," Weiss said. "They're not done when they're done with their time here. If they think they're done, then I haven't done my job."

Pro-Pinball: Big Race USA Review
By Catherine Black | June 05, 2012
Anyone who's a fan of PC pinball simulators is already familiar with Empire's Pro Pinball series. One of the company's earlier titles, Time Shock, was hailed by several members of the press as one of the greatest pinball sims ever released. Now the company has returned, along with the crew at Cunning Developments, with a new sim that's worthy of the same praise. In Big Race USA, these teams give you the experience of owning your own pinball machine, complete with system tests, machine deterioration and diagnostics.
The most important thing about Big Race USA is that the game is a load of fun to play. Even those who don't give a damn about making minute adjustments to the way the game plays will have a blast just slamming the ball around the screen looking to score as many points as possible. The loose idea is that you're a taxi driver trying to make it across the US. Some ramps will cause passengers to hail you, others will let you pick them up, and others just give you more distance towards your final goal. There are loads of different sub-quests to master, from the U-turn rewarding Bonus Bonanza to the switch hitting challenge of Mall Mayhem. Better still, for those who manage to activate it, there's a little sub game that's played on the dot matrix readout at the top of the screen in which you are responsible for driving your cab for a certain distance trying to wreck as many cars as possible on your way. Although this last game is a little hard to see, every quest in the game is challenging without being frustrating, and like a real pinball machine, rewards those who have spent a long time learning the nuances of each one.
Even with all of the great gameplay options, what really sets Big Race USA apart is its excellent ball physics, realistic table options and dedication to using only one screen to display the entire table. The ball bounces around the screen exactly as it would on a real table, the flippers respond well (although using the shift keys is a great deal different from the feel you get with actual flipper buttons) and the ball will even bounce into the air hitting the glass with a sharp crack. One thing that didn't seem quite right to me was the ball to ball collision that occurs during multiball. The balls just never seemed to collide with the same spring that they do in a real arcade. Still, this is a small complaint to what is otherwise a brilliant physics engine. Real pinball freaks will also enjoy twiddling around with all of the table setup options which range from the very usefully table angle, number of extra balls allowed and table condition choices to really nit-picky selections like Solenoid Test. Cunning Developments has gone to great lengths to insure that owning this simulation is exactly like owning the real thing.
Big Race USA's graphics also help you believe that you're standing in front of a real table. All of the lights, bumpers and flashers have been painstakingly detailed. If you look close enough, you can even see the reflection of the table in the pinball as in rolls around the screen. The game's soundtrack was well crafted, but the main theme gets really irritating after a short time. Even so, the rest of the game's sounds were plenty good and show that the company once again put in a lot of research to figure out what makes a pinball machine a pinball machine.
I did have a couple of problems with Big Race USA (after four or five plays I would get a weird slowdown that would persist until I reloaded the game) but all in all it stands out as one of the finest pinball sims I've ever played. If you're looking for one really good pinball game, this one is probably as good as it's going to get.

Home F1 McLaren, again unpredictable
McLaren, again unpredictable
Carlos Sainz, still without points and without a race free of incidents: "I really want to add, but without anxiety or despair."
Fourth race, fourth circuit completely of the previous ones. Fifth, if you add the preseason of Montmeló. And again, the references in the middle zone are inaccurate and ruin any prediction about the performance of McLaren Carlos Sainz. explains the Madrid driver: "Here Racing Point is going very well and the Renault last year went very well. Ferrari engines can fly on this line as they did in China, there are curves similar to Bahrain, so McLaren can take off because that went well ... it can not be predicted, because for those examples the balance can fall for anyone. "
The MCL34 suffered in the classification of Shanghai with problems of adaptation to the layout that were expected and that for now have no solution: "We understand why it happened and I think we knew what could happen, but it has no solution from one race to another. We were wrong in the configuration, there were circumstances of the circuit that did not suit us, and if those circumstances happen again, it will happen again. arcelona we bring improvements that can help those problems, until we try it we will not know how much it will help ".
Sainz, still without points this season out of sheer bad luck (engine break in Australia, Verstappen's touch in Bahrain and accident in the exit from China), is in a hurry, but not anxiety: "I really want to score, to have a clean weekend. But anxiety or despair I do not have. If we were talking about victories or podiums maybe I would be more desperate, but in this case they are points and many are achieved in the middle of the grid. It's a matter of time that these things stop happening to us. "
For that top-10" you have to have a clean weekend, a good strategy, a good configuration and that's it, Baku does not have much mystery. If you try to complicate it is when things start to happen to you. "The top-5 that he achieved in 2018, or the podiums achieved by Stroll and Perez in recent years are also an incentive:" You can fish (those positions), but those Williams and Force India had a Mercedes engine that helped on the Baku straights. Keeping all that in mind, and also knowing that we have a better engine this year, you can dream. But a lot of things must happen to finish in a top-5 like I finished last year. That the two Red Bull stay out in Curve 1, that a Ferrari does something wrong ... you need others to get podiums in Baku. "
The circuit is one of the most accidents generated, perhaps it serves to drive away that bad Fortune. "It's not one of my favorites. The race is fun, on Sunday you have a good time because you overtake, but there are many ninety-degree corners and a very long straight in which the rider does little. I'm not a fan of 90-degree curves, although I do like to go near the walls here. But it's not Monaco, it's a Macau with loopholes, "Carlos explains to this medium.

Executive Director Urges First Ladies to Raise their Voices Against Child Marriage and Teen Pregnancy
ADDIS ABABA -- UNFPA Executive Director Dr. Babatunde Osotimehin today called on African First Ladies to use their positions and voices to stop early child marriage and teenage pregnancy.
In a speech read on his behalf by Mr. Bunmi Makinwa, UNFPA Africa Regional Director at the 11th Extra Ordinary General Assembly of the Organization of First Ladies Against HIV & AIDS, Dr. Osotimehin noted: "Young women should go and stay in school, learn about their sexuality and be equipped to avoid pregnancies and protect themselves from HIV."
He also said that an increasing number of women and young people who would like to protect themselves from pregnancies are unable to do so due to lack of access to family planning services sexuality education and commodities they need.
"The number of women with unmet need for family planning in the poorest countries including Africa has increased from 153 to 162 million. We need to turn things around as a matter of urgency," he said.
In his statement, the UNFPA Executive Director praised the First Ladies for promoting the Campaign on the Accelerated Reduction of Maternal Mortality in Africa (CARMMA), which has been been launched in 37 African countries. "It is gratifying to note that many of you personally launched CARMMA in your countries and have become champions in our joint effort to reduce maternal mortality and pregnancy-related deaths on the continent," he said.
Dr. Osotimehin also challenged the First Ladies to continue to serve as advocates of access to life-saving commodities for women and young girls, including by mobilizing communities, creating demand, supporting sexuality education and ensuring that issues affecting women and girls are raised at various sectoral Ministries, the Parliament and the Presidency.

I recently had the opportunity to attend a (delicious) preview event of Margaritas new fall menu which will hit the stage September 30, 2014. Not familiar with Margaritas? Well read on then!
Founded in 1986 by John Pelletier, Margaritas Mexican Restaurant Group has 25 locations throughout Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania. From colorful authentic décor to a commitment to community relations through charitable events, student field trips and visiting artist demonstrations, Margaritas provides an atmosphere rich with the culture and flavors of Mexico.
Now let me tell you, I sampled A LOT of food (and drink). Like so much food that I wasn't sure I'd ever be able to eat again after I left there. I just couldn't help myself. It was all so good! And this is coming from a girl who only really started eating Mexican food last year.
We started the night off with their new PUMPKIN Sangria and guacamole with bacon. Yup, BACON! The sangria comes in both white and red which were both great but I enjoyed the white (pictured below) more.
One of the other new fall drinks is an Apple Cinnamon Margarita which was my favorite of the night. I was surprised too since I'm not a huge Tequila fan. The cinnamon/sugar on the rim knocked my socks off.
Luckily, I was not too distracted from the delicious libations to notice the fun and interesting decor. All decorations at Margaritas are made and purchased in Mexico to give the restaurant a true authentic feel.
One of the highlights of the evening was getting to see (and tackle) the Taco Gigante.
The Taco Gigante is made with a crispy 12-inch tortilla shell and comes stuffed with lettuce, refried beans, Mexican rice, seasoned chicken, taco beef, pork carnitas, bacon, salsa fresca, cheese and queso sauce. Topped with crema, pickled jalapenos, picante and hacienda sauce and weighs in at over TWO POUNDS! The Taco Gigante is making it's return debut in order to help celebrate National Taco Day on October 4, 2014. Also, don't forget to try out the Dessert Gigante which includes frozen ice cream (it was so good!) and cinnamon/sugar Sopapillas. I DARE YOU to eat both Gigantes. Actually, no I don't, I don't want to be held responsible for that kind of craziness!
We sampled so many great meals that night including the Habanero Honey Chicken Fajita but my favorite item was the Mexican Corn Cakes. It was slow-braised beef served with two Mexican corn cakes in a sweet tomatillo sauce topped with salsa fresca, diced avocado, poblano crema and queso fresco.
Feeling hungry yet? You can check to see if there's a Margaritas near you HERE and also follow them on Twitter HERE!
What's for dinner? It's always the nagging question of the day. I want to say that I am one of those people who has meals planned out a week ahead of time and a balanced meal ready to heat up each night but I'm not. I'm far from it. Between school, activities, and life in general, I'm fried by dinner time. Prep ahead meal planning is really something I need to work on but in the meantime I'm grateful for Breakfast for Dinner nights! It's a huge hit in our household. I mean come one, who doesn't want pancakes, or waffles, or french toast for dinner. I basically want them every day of the week for every meal. YUM!
Breakfast nights are easy and the kids love to help (which I only honestly sometimes let them do based on how much patience I have left!). We recently received a package of Breakfast Night supplies from Krusteaz and couldn't wait to use them. We decided to try out the Krusteaz Belgium Waffle Mix since the kids love when I bust out the waffle maker.
So with just the mix, oil, and eggs and a few minutes in the waffle maker and voila! We had a great, easy, super yummy meal on the table!
Want to try out some Krusteaz products for yourself? One lucky Dollops reader will win a prize pack including a Krusteaz Buttermilk Pancake Mix, a Blueberry Pancake Mix, a Belgian Waffle Mix, and a Wild Blueberry Muffin Mix (We LOVE this one!) as well as Krusteaz coupons for free product. Enter via the Rafflecopter form below!
Last Sunday at our church's annual BBQ a baby bunnies' nest was found pretty much AT the entrance to the bouncy house that had been set up. It's a miracle that they weren't immediately trampled. Someone placed a blue crate over it to protect them and that started my obsessive bunny stalking over the last week. I've seriously spent way too much time this past week looking up information about baby bunnies on the internet and just staring at them.
We kept the crate over them during the day (since the nest was on the church/school playground) and took it off at night for the Mamma Bunny to be able to nurse. Did you know that a Mamma Bunny only nurses the babies 1-2 times in a 24 hour period (at night/dawn) and for only 5 minutes at a time. Beyond that the nest is left unattended and the Mamma does her own thing. Luckily, they had Mamma Diane and a few other church workers keeping an eye on them as well.
So much bigger in just two days, right?
Two of them were out hopping around and super friendly.
This guy even let the kids pet him!
One of them hopped away while we were there - he was ready. By Saturday morning, a friend let me know that the nest was empty. My babies had moved on.
This is where I wanted the post to end but sadly that's not the case. Today, when we got there (yes, between church activities, school, and bunny stalking I am there every day!) one of my bunny friends was found out on the playground who didn't make it. My guess is he was one of the bunnies that was still in the nest Friday afternoon and maybe just wasn't ready/able for life out in the cruel world on his own. So I did what any crazy person would do and I dug a hole and buried him out behind the church. There was talk in the office of just putting him in the dumpster but no way Jose. YOU might throw your dead bunnies in dumpsters or out in the woods but not me. MY dead bunny has a nice rock with a cross on it marking his grave. Yup, that's what I did on my kid-free morning off. I made a nice grave for a dead bunny. What has become of my life?!
BUT let's not end things on a dead bunny note - Let's end them with another adorable picture of his brothers and/or sisters!
Seriously, can you even handle it?!
Last Tuesday, Isabelle started first grade. She was a bit nervous and sad the day before but the worries quickly faded when she realized how awesome first grade is. As expected, she absolutely loves it and loves to update me on all the things the first graders can do that Kindergarteners aren't allowed to do. Here she is heading off for her first day!
Henry followed on Wednesday with his first day of Kindergarten. He was off without a worry in the world and is loving it!
Daniel headed off to his first day of Pre-K this Monday. He's excited to be back at school with his friends and to get to stay for lunch this year!
Yup, that's right they are all in some form of school which means I have a few hours to myself each week. It's the first time since I've had Isabelle that I have some time alone during the day. I've only had one morning of it so far but let me tell you it was magical!
Oh, and I'm also loving the labels that I received complimentary from Kidecals. There's so much labeling involved with kids in school. I love that these washable stickers make it easier!
Hope everyone else is off to a great school year as well!
Last weekend, we headed to check out to King Richard's Faire, New England's largest and longest running Renaissance Festival, in Carver, MA. This was the third year for me and the big kids and the second time for Daniel and my husband. The first year D went he was little though so this was the first time he really got to enjoy it.
Not familiar with the Faire? Well here's some info for you! Entertainment, exciting rides and skilled games abound on the enchanting 80-acre site of King Richard's Faire. Hundreds of talented entertainers perform non-stop throughout the day. Visit any of the eight vibrant stages and be enthralled by acrobats, aerialists, jugglers, minstrels, dancers, fire eaters, puppeteers and exotic tigers. Witness the rare liger, beautiful white lion and cute tiger cubs. You'll gasp as the King's mounted knights battle on horseback, and laugh as bawdy beggars compete in mud. Strolling performers will engage you all day long as you frolic in our forest and try your skill at the Gaming Glen. Epicurean pleasures will tantalize your taste buds with the Faire's unbelievable choices of truly scrumptious treats. Satiate your palate with spit-roasted giant turkey legs, boules of chowder and stew, ringlets of fryes, champagne, wine and brew! Discover over 100 talented artisans who journey from all over the country to display and hawk their magnificent wares. You will be delighted and intrigued by the fantastic glass blowing, portrait painting, hand-spun pottery, sword making, fabulous jewelry, leather and armor, period clothing, moccasins, perfumes and scented oils, face painting, and psychic readings.
If you're thinking of heading to the Faire also be sure to check out my previous post "Things to Know Before Bringing Your Family to King Richard's Faire" which is full of useful info (if I do say so myself!).
We first spent a decent amount of time simply walking around and taking in the sites.
With sites like this who needs much more?
We then decided to take in some shows including "Jacques Ze Whippeur," "Garbanzo," "The Mud Show," and the tail end of a few others. Like in years past, the kids were mesmerized by the acts and the characters.
We ended the day with an ice cream cone and some great memories. Oh, and we tried to leave Daniel behind but he found his way back to us.
King Richard's Faire is open weekends August 30th through October 19, 2014 (including Columbus Day Monday). Tickets are $29 for adults (12+) and $16 for children ages 4-11. Children under 4 are free, as is parking. You can purchase tickets HERE and find helpful info HERE.
Don't forget to Like the King on Facebook HERE and follow him on Twitter HERE!
With kids going back to school left and right in all parts of the country, back to school shopping has been on a lot of people's radars. I feel like I'm one of the few people who doesn't run out and buy a bunch of new clothes before school starts. My kids can easily get away with their summer clothes for at least the first few weeks of school. This was proven when it was 85 degrees here in MA for Isabelle's first day of school! Therefore, I usually hold off on my shopping and make it more of a "getting ready for winter" trip.
Either way, no matter when you're doing your shopping you most likely are trying to not break the bank when doing it. It pains me to spend a lot of money on clothes that the kids will quickly grow out of and/or ruin. So I'm a big fan of (in good condition) hand me down clothes and second hand stores like Savers. A Savers location opened not far from me last July and I was hooked. I love that it's always clean, well organized, and you can find some good deals.
I also checked out the book section which I had never really looked at before. We mainly get our books from the library since we don't have tons of space for our own books but I figured I'd swing by and check it out. I picked up these storybook collections which the kids love. The 5 large books were $4 total for all of them so not bad.
One of my favorite finds at Savers is also pictured above - Legos. Those bad boys are so expensive at retail price but you can often find a bag of them at Savers for just a couple of dollars. We find they often have unique pieces in them as well which the kids enjoy.
So next time you're dreading spending money on back to school, or welcome to winter, or my kids have too many holes in their clothes shopping, consider taking a trip to Saver's. They might have just what you need for a steal!

I recently had the opportunity to attend a Wine and Chocolate Tasting at Chocolate Therapy in Framingham. Actually, that's only partially true - it wasn't that recent. It was in July but I got caught up in having too much summer fun (and wine) to write about it. It was a fun and informative night though so I wanted to make sure I circled back to tell you about it!
Chocolate Therapy is owned by husband and wife team, David and Pam Griffin, who are passionate and knowledgeable about all things chocolate (and friendly to boot!). When we arrived we were greeted in the front store by Pam with wine in hand and offered chocolate samples. I wouldn't mind being greeted like that every time I walked in a door! We were then escorted back to a private room with tables set for 4 to 6 people. I brought a friend with me as did my blogging bud, Jess of Keeping Mommy Sane, so we all sat together for a fun girls night out.
After some learning, the real fun began - the eating and drinking! Here was our menu from the event with the pairings. Pam works hard (and enjoys every second of that work) to find complimentary and unique pairings.
The Sea Salt Caramel paired with the Sherry was my favorite and I also really enjoyed the Pinot Grigio pairing. Those were my top two but they were really all good which somewhat surprised me since I am not a red wine drinker and didn't think I would enjoy those as much as I did. It just goes to show once again that chocolate makes everything better!
Oh, and in case there was any doubt about the health benefits of the ingredients in their chocolates, I took this picture for photographic evidence!
After the event was over, we headed to the front to make a few purchases and pose with cacao pods (obviously!).
We really enjoyed our night and it was a nice change of pace and something different to do!
Chocolate Therapy has two locations - Framingham and Dedham (Legacy Place). You can like them on Facebook HERE and follow them on Twitter HERE. You can also learn more about the events and parties they offer by clicking HERE.

Next time you serve a rotisserie chicken or turkey, don't pass up the dark meat. It could protect you against heart disease.
A recent study published in the European Journal of Nutrition found that higher levels of taurine in women significantly lowered coronary heart disease (CHD) risk in women with high cholesterol.
These women with sufficient taurine levels were 60% less likely to develop or die from CHD compared to women with lower serum taurine levels. If you haven't heard, heart disease is the number one cause of natural death in America. You want to take every potential measure to prevent it.
A few things I want to note about this study. Almost 80% participants were Caucasian women, so we can't apply this information to men or even non-Caucasian women. Also worth noting is that taurine, for whatever reason, didn't provide CHD protection in women with low cholesterol.
But don't dismiss this study because it doesn't apply to you. Other studies also confirm taurine benefits heart health.
An overview in the appropriately titled Experimental and Clinical Cardiology, for instance, describes numerous experimental and several clinical studies that show taurine boosts cardiovascular health by, for instance, improving lipid profile and acting as a powerful antioxidant.
Now, at this point you're either really fascinated with these studies or wondering what the heck taurine is, so let me explain.
Taurine is a sulfur-containing amino acid that your body requires for numerous functions. Among its many roles, taurine maintains a healthy immune system, helps your gallbladder produce adequate amounts of bile, and contributes to optimal glucose metabolism.
I recommend taurine in The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth for its anti-bloating abilities as part of my PMS cocktail.
Taurine also works as a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent.
You get my point: you want optimal amounts of taurine to get its numerous benefits.
Now, here's the deal. Taurine is classified as a conditionally essential nutrient, which means theoretically your body can synthesize adequate amounts with enough vitamin B6 as well as the amino acids methionine and cysteine.
I say theoretically, because vegetarians and people with certain illnesses don't always make enough taurine and aren't getting it in their diets. Rich dietary sources of taurine include shellfish like claims and oysters as well as meat, so it's no surprise vegetarians sometimes become deficient.
Energy drinks like Red Bull have popularized taurine. Combined with other ingredients like caffeine and ginseng, taurine can potentially boost athletic performance and brain function.
But studies here are mixed. One in the journal Amino Acids, for instance, found taurine-containing drinks like Red Bull can boost mental performance and mood. A later study in that same journal, however, found these drinks have no effect on short-term memory.
I'm not a huge fan of energy drinks, and I certainly don't think they're the best way to get taurine.
Even if you're eating enough meat and other taurine food sources, you might consider supplementing to get therapeutic amounts of this important amino acid.
Taurine 1000mg from Designs for Health, which provides a therapeutic gram of this amino acid to fight inflammation, boost heart health, and all the other great things taurine does.
Lipoic Synergy (also from Designs for Health) is a great formula that combines 200 mg of taurine with the powerful antioxidant lipoic acid and the B-vitamin biotin. If you want to balance blood sugar and support your liver, try Lipoic Synergy.

Antlerless deer license applications on sale until Aug. 15
Michigan Department of Natural Resources sent this bulletin at 08/12/2014 09:33 AM EDT
About 494,000 antlerless licenses available statewide.
Contact: Holly Vaughn, 313-396-6863 or Brent Rudolph, 517-641-4903
The Department of Natural Resources reminds hunters that the application period for antlerless deer licenses ends Aug. 15. Hunters may apply for one license in any open Deer Management Unit statewide; a nonrefundable $5 fee is charged at the time of application. Drawing results and leftover license availability may be viewed at www.michigan.gov/huntdrawings beginning Sept. 4.
Hunters may apply for one private-land or public-land license online at E-License, or at any authorized license agent or DNR Customer Service Center.
Those purchasing antlerless deer applications and licenses will notice some differences in the way hunt choices are listed this year, due to system changes that came with Michigan's new license structure. Applications for all antlerless deer hunts are now listed on the same page – with public-land hunts listed first (item numbers begin with a 1), followed by private-land hunts (item numbers begin with a 2). Those viewing the list of available hunt choices should scroll down until they find the correct number for the hunt they wish to apply for.
Young hunters, ages 9-16, can also purchase one junior antlerless deer license over the counter July 15 - Aug. 15. No application is required. A 9-year-old must be 10 by Sept. 15 to purchase this license.
Antlerless deer quotas have been reduced to about 494,000 licenses statewide, down from about 550,000 for 2013. In the Upper Peninsula, licenses are available only in DMUs 122, 055 and 155, and have been eliminated in other Upper Peninsula DMUs due to the severe winter of 2013-2014 and the resulting losses in the deer herd.
License quotas for each DMU can be found at www.michigan.gov/deer.
Any leftover antlerless deer licenses not issued in the drawing will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis beginning Sept. 11 at 10 a.m. EDT until license quotas are met. Leftover licenses may be unavailable or sell out quickly in high-demand hunt units. While there is no requirement to apply, hunters who are concerned about getting a license are encouraged to apply for the private- or public-land hunt of their choice.
PLEASE NOTE: In the printed 2014 Antlerless Deer Digest, DMU 115 is listed as open during the early and late antlerless firearm deer seasons. This is an error. DMU 115 is open only during the Liberty, Independence, archery, regular firearm and muzzleloader seasons.
Hunters also are reminded to apply for the Pure Michigan Hunt for $5 as many times as they would like. Three winners each will receive a prize package valued at over $4,000, including a rifle and crossbow plus licenses for elk, bear and antlerless deer hunting. Visit www.michigan.gov/puremichiganhunt for more information. To purchase Pure Michigan Hunt applications, visit E-License.
For more information, see the 2014 Antlerless Deer Hunting Digest, which can be found at local license agents or online at www.michigan.gov/dnrdigests.
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is committed to the conservation, protection, management, use and enjoyment of the state's natural and cultural resources for current and future generations. For more information, go to www.michigan.gov/dnr.

You could say I have a bit of a bone to pick. Which might explain why this is really long.
Damon Suede called romance "The literature of hope." Some folks might say that that's an inflated description for dinky little love stories; those folks don't know what they're talking about. I'm not saying that to be rude so much as to express that they are working from a fundamental misunderstanding of the genre, one that is usually based in some mixture of sexism, superiority and an unfamiliarity with the texts in question.
A romantic suspense author's internet search history is a terrifying thing. Because we're constantly doing research so we can write from the perspectives of all sorts of heroes and villains, if something exists under the sun, chances are we've googled it, whether it's sexual, violent, or just plain weird. And we can yell to the heavens about the fictional purposes of the thing, but that's not going to keep anyone who takes a peek at our laptops from thinking that we're either a) psychotic, b) pervy, c) criminals planning a major crime, or d) all of the above.

City University of New York--Brooklyn College
2900 Bedford Avenue | Brooklyn, NY | 11210
Tuition (In-State): $6,730
Brooklyn College "is the perfect representative of Brooklyn as a borough and [of] success in the community," an institution that, like its home borough, "educates its students in an environment that reflects diversity, opportunity (study abroad, research, athletics, employment), and support." "Lauded as one of the best senior colleges in CUNY" and boasting "a beautiful campus," Brooklyn College entices a lot of bright students looking for an affordable, quality, undergraduate experience as well as some attracted by the school's relatively charitable admissions standards. It's easier to get in here than to stay in; Brooklyn College is "an academically challenging and rigorous school" that "feels a lot more competitive than one would anticipate." Professors "are fabulous" and "really passionate about the subjects that they teach and their students' career paths," although there are some "grumpy and nasty professors" that might best be avoided. Students are especially sanguine about special programs here, such as the various honors programs, in which "you will meet tons of highly intelligent people. Honors classes boast very good in-class discussions and highly vibrant, enthusiastic students. Non-honors classes are more run-of-the-mill but still very good academically." The school also works hard to provide "constant and innumerable job opportunities available to students and the Magner Center, which helps students find jobs and internships, and [to] help them prepare for the real world through résumé writing workshops [and] job interview workshops." There are also "many financial awards available."
"The typical student at Brooklyn College is hardworking, from the NY metro area, and a commuter." Many "hold part-time jobs and pay at least part of their own tuition, so they are usually in a rush because they have a lot more responsibility on their shoulders than the average college student." Like Brooklyn itself, "the student body is very diversified," with everyone from "an aspiring opera singer to quirky film majors to single mothers looking for a better life for their children," and so "no student can be described as being typical. Everyone blends in as normal, and little segregation is noticed (if it exists)." Students here represent more than 100 nations and speak nearly as many languages. There are students who "come from Long Island to North Carolina, from Connecticut to even Hong Kong."
"Apart from all the clubs and athletics on campus, most people come for class and then leave" at Brooklyn College because "we are a commuter school, so it has to be this way. All social activities happen off campus." There are "pretty nice places to hang out around campus for the occasional coffee," and "there are a lot of student organizations and a lot of activities done to help enhance student life on campus," but the "immediate surroundings of the Brooklyn College campus are generally not where you would want to stay for hours," and "on weekends the campus usually is dead." That said, "the campus is quite beautiful, and the quad during spring time is usually a nice place to sit and relax." Furthermore, "New York City hotspots are a twentyto forty-minute [subway] ride away," and Brooklyn itself is "a great place to live" where "there are always fun things happening."

Brooklyn College participates in the CUNY-mandated Brooklyn Ten-Year Sustainability Plan, a response to former NYC Mayor Bloomberg's request for all CUNY institutions to reduce their carbon footprints by 30 percent between 2007 and 2017. Brooklyn College's sustainability plan considers several areas: energy, water, transportation, waste management/recycling, procurement, food, health and nutrition, education and outreach, and buildings and grounds. To date, the college has implemented several changes aimed at increasing its sustainability. In the science facilities, retrofitting of laboratory hoods and ventilation equipment has increased their energy efficiency. Brooklyn College was the first CUNY institution to introduce energy reduction measures during peak usage periods. Golf carts have been purchased along with four electric mega-vans for college personnel use. Additional bicycle racks have been placed throughout campus. Organic waste composted by students in the Health and Nutrition Department is used at Floyd Bennett Field. This green university encourages students to evaluate their day-to-day behavior, emphasizing green tips like "BYOB"—Bring Your Own Bottle (for water!) The purchasing and facilities departments are working to increase the use of green cleaning products.

How Ryan Gosling & Eva Mendes' Raise Their Kids
Eva Mendes & Ryan Gosling's Home Is Bursting With Latin Culture & We're Obsessed
Photo: Dave Allocca/StarPix/REX/Shutterstock.
If one thing's for certain, it's that Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes do thing their way. The parents of two are unmarried, and tend to keep their relationship out of the public eye. However, Mendes did open up to People Chica recently about her new collection and plus-size extension for New York & Co., and revealed how the Gosling-Mendes family pay homage to her Cuban heritage.
"Esmeralda mostly speaks Spanglish right now. It's really cute," Mendes said about their three year old daughter. "She's definitely bilingual, and it's really important for us to make sure that she's not only just familiar with the language, but also with the culture. My mom, who lives 15 minutes away, makes it is easy because she speaks to the girls in Spanish and cooks them Cuban food. And we're always listening to Cuban music. It really is a big part of our way of life. I wouldn't have it any other way."
Gosling previously told Ellen DeGeneres about his bilingual household, teaching the host a saying that Mendes' family often cries: "Ay que rico, baby!"
Mendes' family is pretty influential in Amada and Esmeralda's lives, especially Mendes' father.
"My dad, who has been here for 45 years and still doesn't speak English, is a real asset," she told People. "It's so cool because now that I'm trying to make sure that my girls speak Spanish, it's like, 'Ok, Dad, take them,' because I know that all they're going to speak with him is Spanish."
These strong family bonds are probably why the A-listers don't have a nanny, and it's why Gosling couldn't stop thanking Mendes during his 2017 Golden Globes acceptance speech.
"You don't get to be up here without standing on the shoulders of a mountain...While I was singing and dancing and playing piano, my lady was raising our daughter, pregnant with our second and trying to help her brother with his battle with cancer," he said. "If she hadn't taken all that on so I could have this experience [someone else would be up here]. Sweetheart, thank you."
Ay que rico, baby!

Blu-ray Reviews: Sky High
Originally published in Sound and Image, Sept/Oct 2007, v.21#1
2005 - Buena Vista Home Entertainment
Director: Mike Mitchell
Starring: Michael Angarano, Kurt Russell, Kelly Preston, Danielle Panabaker, Kevin Heffernan, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Steven Strait
Superhero movies will, it seems, always be with us. Like all genres, it has spun off its own sub-genre of light-hearted re-examinations. The most famous one is The Incredibles. Although Sky High doesn't reach its heights of genius, it still constitutes a pleasant, and occasionally funny, look at everyday superheroes.
In the Sky High universe, superherodom is achieved either through the environment ('falling into a vat of toxic chemicals'), or genetically. Our hero -- or should I say, protagonist -- is entering the superhero's high school (our equivalent of Year 9, I think). He is the son of the two most famous superheroes presently do-gooding around the globe. Unfortunately, his own super powers have not yet kicked in. Kurt Russell does a wonderful job as his father, with his awkward phrasing contrasting against his constantly heroic pose. Also worth looking out for is a cameo from now rather aged Cloris Leachman as the school nurse, and the 1970s 'Wonder Woman' Lynda Carter as the school principal.
This BD demonstrates their capacious nature. Although single layer*, and carrying a 99 minute movie with its MPEG2 bitstream running close to 30Mbps, and having a few extras, it also carries ten audio tracks. Each of the foreign ones gets a standard Dolby Digital and a standard DTS treatment, but at the highest possible bitrates of 640 and 1536kbps respectively. The English tracks score Dolby Digital (at 640kbps) and 5.1 channel uncompressed 48kHz/16 bit PCM. Together, these add up to nearly 14Mbps, or more than the entire data delivery capacity of a DVD. The sound is as good as the original recording, which was good enough, if not especially exciting.
The picture quality is also excellent, with no artefacts, jaggies or anything else to draw your attention away from the action in the movie. Even the extras are presented in 1080p24, not that there are many of them.

Several wards at Salford Royal Hospital are without a running water supply tonight.
Hospital bosses confirmed that there is a problem with water supply to the Ladywell Building this evening (Tuesday), affecting a number of patients staying on the wards.
Temporary measures are in place while the problem is resolved.
